The graphics are some of the best seen on any console to date and the controls are just as dandy. Throw in the multiplayer, sim mode, and personal customizations available and THQs Moto GP is a keeper for any racing fan out there.

The lighting of this game rivals any on the Xbox. It's awesome to see skid marks from a previous lap remain in the same spot and to see falling rain clean off your tires and smudge up the camera for the game.

It doesn't have the enormous depth of play that some of the auto racers modeled on "Gran Turismo" have, with hundreds of vehicles and upgrades to collect and keep you playing, but it provides the most exhilarating and intense races anywhere.
